Big Bump!

"Smartest woman in the world" really isn't!

[peacebaby]

She's Mad. All for a soundbite. In that shrill voice of hers. She needs a voice coach.

[cotton1706]

And they all hate the big dubya. "A BIG DUBYA, YOU CAN'T MISS IT, A BIG DUBYA!"

[jonascord]

She's not the Smartest Woman In The World, but she plays one on TV...

[maranatha]

Everyone read...it's good.

[Cyclone59]

AGAIN, and just what type of business does the Senator from New York have in COLORADO. She speaks in other states more than her own.......

What's really sad is that I was published in Mad magazine years ago. I wasn't able to make a follow-up sale and part of the reason was this: when my piece was finally published, nearly two years after acceptance (and payment), they had changed it substantially. I was still writing the wrong stuff.

Fast forward a few years: I came up with an idea for Hillary Clinton, but she was leaving office and would be less in the spotlight (Ha!) and less topical. I decided to save the idea for a few years, because I knew that she wasn't going away. I pulled the unfinished piece out a few weeks ago.

Now, I'll never be able to sell it to them because their staffers will be working overtime slamming Hillary. Still, I guess I should give it a shot.

At least Wubya is on display on the cover of each issue. Sen Clit-R-Us doesn't rate being marginalized! Which is one of my favorite venues in the mag!

A lifelong Madophile, I cried when I came home on leave while in the Air Force and went to the attic to retrieve my comics and Mads! They were gone. Dad had tossed them and said that he thought that I was finished with that juvenile stuff! I had started antiquing and discovered what my "juvenile stuff" was worth. I had Mad issue # 1, Spidy # 1, Scrooge McDuck and many others including a series of Classics Illustrated including Tom Sawyer, War of the Worlds and Moby Dick!

Sniff!

In the past two years, GDP growth has not dipped below an annualized rate of 3.3 percent in any one quarter. Five of the eight quarters had better than 4 percent growth. At the same time, prices have only increased by 3 percent in one of those quarters, meaning that real growth has taken place since Bush got his economic plan through Congress.

GDP growth is quoted in after inflation amounts, so the absolute growth would be 6-7% annually, with 3% not really counting because it is just from inflation.

..."And yet a sitting senator and presumptive candidate for the presidency makes these strange assertions without criticism from the establishment press."...

That is because the "establishment press" is predominantly made up of left-wing "C" students" who have no real knowledge, despite their attempts to pass themselves off as intellectuals and thinkers. The MSM is devoid of thought and intellect, it is bankrupt of any ideas of objectivity. It exists now to oppose and undermine the republican party while acting as a de facto communication branch of the democrat party.

Hillary Clinton, anointed by the MSM, will never be questioned or held accountable by it. That is the danger facing the US in the national election of 2008. The possibility that Hillary Clinton could be elected President is as much a clear and present danger to us all as islamic terrorism.

Oil-up your PCs, Freepers. If the Left thinks that Free Republic and the rest of the web was a nuisance in 2004, they ain't seen nothing yet for 2008. WE will serve as the country's Hillary Truth Detector in 2007-2008. It really is up to us. And we can do it.

Run, Hillie, run...

Bwah hah hah hah hah...

[logic]

I learned a lot from Mad Magazine... They ran a piece on how to read between the lines... It taught me how to find loopholes in contracts, how to get much more information than is being said, and most importantly, how to avoid scams...

SENATOR CLINTON'S SPEECH provides its own Mad magazine moments. For instance, in the portion of her speech that made the Alfred E. Neuman comparison, she argued that Bush's tax cuts had damaged the economy. Checking with the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis, however, you find only one quarter during Bush's presidency where the national GDP has registered a decline, and that was in the third quarter of 2001, which included 9/11.

The smartest woman in the world can't find an internet search engine.

LOL!

Thanks for posting this excellent coverage of the MAD MAD WORLD OF HILLARY CLINTON. :)

I guess Hillary's quip was a dig into the ole "ALFRED E NEUMAN FOR PRESIDENT" campaign (in humor) of so long ago. Well, duh! President Bush isn't running again. Can't run for President Again. She wasted her ammo, and made herself look foolish. Just shows how out of centrifugal force the Dem party has got to be, behind the scenes.
